Working with the clip list

Remarks

$

The first time you double-click a .

dvl

file in Windows Explorer, you will

need to specify Matrox A/V Tools as the program you want to use to open
.

dvl

files.

$

If you load a .

dvl

file to a clip list that already contains clips, it will

replace the current clip list. If needed, your editing video format in A/V
Tools will be changed to match the video format of the clips in the loaded
clip list.

methods:

• Select the clips you want to copy, right-click the clip list, then choose
